Chicken/Egg problem: This ranch is where we want to get away to. The barn isn't even up yet a year into this project. Still unresolved drainage issues due to 100 year flood-plain area (and these guys are top-notch engineers?). Barn slated to go up in the next couple weeks - finally...
Had to fire the main subcontractor overseeing the project. Very frustrating times. Set us back a bit further.
Just gotta do what I can to shamble from one day to the next without blowing my brains out at this point.
I completely get it. We're in the same boat, trying to get a second building put up on the property, and my builder has been pushing me off for six months now. Says his other builds are dragging due to material availability issues. If he doesn't commit soon, I'm going to have to look for another builder.
Then after that, we've still got a shit ton of landscaping and hardscaping that I know will take forever to get done.
I swear, if anyone out there thinks that they can get new home construction done in 6-8 months, or even within 12 months like you could 15-20 years ago.
Well I got news for you: it'll take 2-3 years now. Years.
